ISLAMABAD: Next three months are ‘important’ for the incumbent federal government led by PTI, cautioned Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday.

He was speaking during an interview here today in the federal capital.

Commenting on the flaws of his own government, the premier said that the biggest failure of the incumbent government was the lack of accountability.

Despite all the evidence against these people [Opposition], they are managing to escape accountability, he added.

The premier said Opposition parties are free to table a no-confidence motion against the government, adding that he does not feel threatened by “corrupt parties.”

Terming soaring inflation in the country an international issue, he said that the government needs to control inflation in the next three months.

He was of the view that together with the allies, his government will complete its constitutional term of five-year.
